QME

Guys, qME finally stopped working on Windows 10 (it complains it won't run on 64-bit) -- what's the best alternative if all I want to do is just stick an extra skin into a Q1 .mdl file?

Hmmmm. Doesn't sound right.
Windows has what is called a "Windows on Windows" system to run 32-bit applications built-in to the operating system.
Visual Studio is a 32-bit application, as a hilarious example.
Is it just the installer that doesn't work (more likely)?

Here is a link to the shareware version of QME 3.1 (QMELite)

That file is just a zip, no need to use an QME's goofy installer which very well could be a 16-bit application from the Windows 98 days.

I need a better computer so I can play that game.

Sorry

You're right, it was just the installer. I'll have to grab the full exe off my other machine at some point, then.

Quake Injector Test

Anyone using the Quake Injector - if you got a minute, could you please test this: install Quoth from scratch through the Injector and check if it's version 2.2, possibly even install some Quoth map (without a prior Quoth installation) and see if it works and runs on 2.2.

I was on vacation during August and decided to do the exact same thing. I've made the first 4 maps, but using Quake 2 PC's original textures and items.
You can find it here:

I'm not an expert mapper or anything, this is probably the most complex Quake mapping I've ever done and I've only ever used QuArK, but maybe I could be of some assistance?

Never mind. Turns out it doesn't work. Blame Spirit. Too bad really - would have been nice if QI and corresponding Quaddicted systems could be set up to automatically install additional files like updates when running maps and dependencies.

Dear Rick Lipsey.

It has been 99.7% done for well over a year, but I haven't done anything to it in a long time. I guess I got tired of looking at it.
If I could work up enough enthusiasm to make some better wood floor textures, I'd probably be able to finish it up pretty quickly.
It's really nothing special, just an okay sort of map.

I really hate Windows sometimes.
I was messing around in the registry and accidently deleted an entire branch of keys. No problem, I'll just do a restore.
"Windows Restore could not complete."
Hmmm, I restart and nothing works.
Okay, I will use the "Repair" option from the install disk. Put disk in, reboot from DVD and go to repair.
"This version of repair is not compatible with this version of Windows."
Huh? It's the same DVD it was installed from.
Well shit, I'll just reinstall. There was nothing much on the disk anyway, Steam and Quake was all, because I just replaced the SSD in July.
Reboot from DVD and go to install.
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style"
What? It was just RUNNING from that disk 30 minutes ago.
So Google tells me I need to delete all the existing partitions. Well, I didn't really want to do that because there's several games in the Steam folder that would have to be re-downloaded and some saves I might want to keep. Luckily I had a couple of new SSDs not in use yet, so here I am fucking around with a computer when I really wanted to be doing something else. Thank you Microsoft.
